He's obviously got something wrong with him. All this negative energy. He could use his expertise (if he has any) to redirect posters in trouble. Ngs are about helping people, or should I say (to use his style) HELPING people!

It is obvious that the vast majority of people who post with problems seemingly randomly to newsgroups are *in trouble*. They are asking (usually politely) for help. All they get from this Edric is rudeness. Rudeness often covers up inadequacy and ignorance.

Deal with it. The best teachers make you find the answers on your own. They don't tell you the answers or even necessarily where exactly to go to find them...they make the resources available and expect you to find the answers on your own. It's cognitive theory and is proven to be the test method of teaching.
